SLIPKNOT // Clown Hints Writing A New Record Will Begin February 2017

Slipknot creative mastermind Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan has hinted that the band will begin writing new material at the beginning of next year. In a new interview with Rolling Stone promoting his directorial debut, Crahan hinted that he would begin writing new material in February 2017.

According to Rolling Stone, “[Clown] has a plan to get together with Slipknot guitarist Jim Root in early February and start writing new music—”because we want to write,” Crahan adds—and they’ll leave the date they actually go back into the studio up in the air.” With their notoriously long record cycles hanging in the air, alongside each member’s own personal side projects, we may not see another Slipknot record for a very long time.

However, the fact that Clown has hinted at this is more information than we had before .5 The Gray Chapter, so take this as a blessing maggots.
